TRUSTING:
A married couple, decided to make some
change in their living situation. They had
always lived in the city, and now they
decided they wanted to live in the
country, on a lake.
They found a small, lake home. It wasn't
the house of their dreams, but when they
sold their city home, they would have
money to remodel it. They had saved
some money, so they moved into their
lake home before selling their city home.
One year passed, and the city home
didn't sell. They went through many
changes during this time. They had times
of patience and impatience. Some days
they trusted the God of their
understanding; other days they couldn't
figure out why the God of their
understanding was making them wait so
long, why the God of their understanding
wouldn't let them move forward with
their plan. The doors just wouldn't swing
wide open.
One day, a neighbor came to visit. His
home on the lake was their dream home –
everything they wanted, plus more. The
first time they saw this house, they
admired it, wishing they could have a
home just like it, but then they forgot
about the idea. They didn't believe it
could ever be possible.
The reason the neighbor came to visit was
that he and his wife had decided to move.
He offered them the first option on
purchasing his home.
They accepted his offer, and signed a
purchase agreement. Within two months,
they sold their city home and their small
but adequate lake home. A short time
later, they moved into the home of their
dreams.
Sometimes, we experience times of
frustration in our life. We believe we're
on track, trusting the God of our
understanding and ourselves, yet things
don't work out. We have false starts and
stops. The door refuses to swing wide
open.
We may wonder if the God of their
understanding has abandoned us, or
doesn't care. We may not understand
where we're going, or what our
direction is.
Then one day we see: the reason we
didn't get what we wanted was
because the God of our understanding
had something much better planned
for us.
